I'm revising my homebrew armylist yet again (mostly wording but some units and mechanics will be getting tweaked) and I thought I might as well share it! For reference, you can check the '4th edition' through the link in my sig to compare changes. I'm interested in constructive feedback and proofreading as well (I tend to have a blindspot for my errors and most of you are native speakers). Once I'm done with all the reworking, I will probably end up posting a general changes list to make it easier to see what has been altered.

Ever-vigilant, these craftsmen help the Imperial army in times of war by building fortifications and repairing broken equipment. They are rather weak in combat and as such are better suited for support.

Stats:

Worker: 1d6-1 skill 5 inch movement 1d6-2 armor

Armed with simple tools (use rate 3, 1d6 damage, close combat).

Swordsmen

The main infantry of the Empire: as all Imperial troops, they are well disciplined, albeit poor in terms of damage. Best used for locking opposing melee units in combat.

Stats:

Swordsman 1d6 skill 5 inch movement 4 armor

Officer 1d6+1 skill 5 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special:• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

Imperial ranged troops. They are worthless in melee but compliment swordsmen very well.

Stats:

Crossbowman

1d6 skill 5 inch movement 4 armor

Officer

1d6+1 skill 5 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special:• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

Armed with crossbows (use 3, 1d6+1 damage, 10 inch range).

Löwengard

Elite Imperial foot soldiers; usually used as retinue for commander or royalty. They have higher damage output and better base armor, but they lack the sometimes very useful armor bonus shielded minifigs have.

Stats:

Löwengard

1d6+2 skill 6 inch movement 5 armor

Löwengard Captain

1d6+2 skill 6 inch movement 1d10+1 armor

Special:• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.• If the hero has no action but a Löwengard minifig has, it can redshirt willingly for the hero unit.

Armed with halberds (ur3, 1d6+2 damage, close range).

Battle Cleric

They are blessed minifigs who weave the winds of magik for healing purposes mostly, but they got other tricks too. Namely a huge flanged mace. Battle-clerics are semi-heroic units that easily overpower individual troops but can be overwhelmed by squads. Probably the best way to use them is have it join the front row of a squad then attack/tithe accordingly.

Hailing from the Northern mountain range of Karak-Nar, the Dwarves are the most respected allies of the Empire.

Crimson Guard

The Crimson Guard are stout warriors who can take a lot of punishment and therefore are ideal to escort hero units.

Stats:

Crimson Guard

1d6 skill 5 inch movement 5 armor

Crimsonbeard Officer

1d6+1 skill 5 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special: • Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point. • Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round.• Shield wall (1 action (the officers is enough); the squad gains automatic parries, full cover (+2 skill to hit them with ranged weapons) and a POP of 2. As a drawback, minifigs with shield wall activated cannot sprint and they can only counterattack).

The Irongut clan is the most ferocious of the dwarves. They represent the fast attack option for dwarves: as such they are more fragile but can provide sudden bursts of damage which can be devastating.

Stats:

Irongut Warrior

1d6 skill 6 inch movement 4 armor

Irongut Officer

1d6+1 skill 6 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special: • Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point. • Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round. • Frenzy: The minifig may choose to deliver a flurry of blows instead of a regular swing. Its controller may roll twice for damage after skillcheck, and deal the combined amount minus 1 of the rolls to the opponent. This wears out the minifig though, replacing its base armor value for 1d6 until the following turn.

When a dwarf reaches a certain age, he decides to retire from fighting and do what a dwarf does best: digging for treasures. This doesn’t mean that they won’t use their picks to crack some skulls if needed, though. Miners are average melee units but their burrow ability gives them a slight edge over other units, as it provides the squad a quick and safe way to reposition and deliver sneak attacks.

Stats:

Miner:

1d6 Skill5 inch Movement4 Armor

Miner Officer

1d6+1 Skill5 inch Movement1d10 Armor

Special: • Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point.• Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round. • Burrow: The unit may choose to burrow themselves and move underground with double movement speed. Burrowing counts as a full action, but resurfacing is only a quick action. • Mad Mead: The miners chug their favourite dwarven stout to enhance their fighting capabilities, giving them a plus 2 skill modifier for one turn. This ability can only be used once per battle.

Hailing from the Eastern lands beyond the Evergreen Woods, the secretive elves ally themselves with the Empire if needed.

Silver Spears

These resilient warriors possess mighty fighting capabilities. Pure stats wise they are probably the best Imperial melee unit with good damage and adjustable armor value.

Stats:

Phalanx

1d6+1 skill 7 inch movement 5 armor

Phalanx Captain

1d6+2 skill 7 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special:• Shield wall (1 action (the officers is enough); the squad gains automatic parries, small cover (+1 skill to hit them with ranged weapons) and a POP of 2. As a drawback, minifigs with shield wall activated cannot sprint; their movement is also reduced by 2 inches and they can only counterattack).

As all elves, the ones on Medivo are masters of the bow and arrow as well. These are the best ranged infantry units, outranging almost every other ranged infantry.

Stats

Longbowman

1d6+1 skill 7 inch movement 4 armor

Longbowman Captain

1d6+2 skill 7 inch movement 1d10 armor

Armed with elven longbows (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, 12 inch range).

CAVALRY

Knights

Cavalry are probably the most powerful land units; their charge can be surely devastating. They can be considered a one-trick penis unit as usually they don’t get the chance to charge for a second time; however, with lucky rolls they probably don’t need one. They are also good at outrunning infantry and striking ranged infantry, who usually stand no chance against them.

Stats:

Knight

1d6 skill 5 inch movement 4 armor

Special:• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

The most powerful knights who could manage to control the power of ancient runic magiks. Runeknights are the stronger and faster versions of vanilla knights however their runic skillset makes them far more versatile.

Stats:

Runeknight

1d10 skill 7 inch movement 2d6 armor 2 hit points

Special:• Rune Magik: Activating rune powers is a quick/free action, but only one of the rune spells can be used per turn; runes can be used as response action. One rune power can only be used once in a battle per runeknight.Runes:• Rune of the Swift Winds: gives a unit 1d6 bonus movement until the end of the turn.• Rune of Shielding: gives a unit 1d6 armor bonus against an attack. This rune can be used as a reaction.• Rune of Smiting: 6 inch range. Deals 1d6 damage to a single opponent. Damage only checks for the base armor of the target and ignores any additional armor.

When attacking with war machines, if a critical skill fail occurs, the player must roll 1d6 to determine the consequences that will occur. Depending on the roll these could be: 1: BOOM! The machine blows up, dealing 1d10 explosive damage in a 2 inch radius to all minifigs and structures. The machine is destroyed and beyond repairs; it can still be salvaged and rebuilt to something else. 2-3: The machine is broken; its weaponry won't work until repaired. 4-5: The machine’s weaponry gets jammed, the attack fails. The machine cannot attack next turn because the crew is occupied with unjamming it. 6: OVERDRIVE! The machine performs way beyond standard expectations: the attack is considered successful. In addition, the player may roll for damage with double amount of dice than usual. Afterwards, the machine is considered broken until repaired.

Engineers

Engineers are crafty fellows, known for their constant tinkering, and coming up with new inventions. Engineers are specialist units designed to complement mechanized units, either via keeping them in good shape or helping the operators with aiming.

Stats:

1d6 skill 5 inch movement 4 armor

Special: • Can repair broken machinery.• Targeting: If equipped with proper object, the minifig can target an opposing unit; other friendly minifigs gain a +1 skill modifier when performing ranged attacks against the ‘targeted unit’.

A rather complex design from the engineer's guild, it is devastating but also unpredictable. The rotary cannon, with the right positioning can be incredibly strong against rows of infantry units. Alternatively it can be used against large targets with multiple hit points to whittle them down.

Stats: No skill Same movement as the minifig who's pushing it 1d10 armor

Attack: use 3, 10 inch range. it deals 1d6 times 1d6 damage in a 2 inch wide line. Damage is dealt to everyone within the weapons’ range.As a drawback, 1 turn is needed for reloading.

Siege Engine

The Imperial siege engine is a cutting edge design, the closest equivalent to modern day tanks. Being heavily armored and capable of dishing out explosive amounts of damage, it is up to par with the veteran dwarven war machine designs, if a bit more safe.

Special:• Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point.• Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round.

TechKnight

Versatile combo of man and machine, techknights are demi-heroic units, though they can be easily upgraded to be a hero.

Stats:

Techknight

1d10 skill 7 inch movement 2d6 armor 2 hp

Techknight can be upgraded with a heroic ego; if that happens, the techknight gains +1 hp and the ability to do 2 actions per turn.

Special: • Prostetic arm: a slew of different weaponry can be attached to it. The techknight gains a +1 skill modifier when striking with the attached weapon. • No restrictions and penalties for unusual weapon combinations: the techknight can wield any combination of minifig weaponry.

Hailing from the mountainous regions of Medivo, these noble giants were former servitors of the Majistik back in the war of unification. Now they aid minifigs in their fight against evil. Storm Titans are large units designed to counter enemy large units.

It fades at the beginning of the next turn.

Armed with a thundering greatsword (use 3 (for the titan only, tripled use for a normal minifig), 2d6 damage, close combat) and great shield (use 3, 2d10 armor when parrying).

Berserkers are bloodthirsty orks, who are usually first in line to attack the enemy. They are highly mobile but extremely fragile.

Stats:

Berserker

1d6 skill 7 inch movement 4 armor

Champiork

1d6+1 skill 6 inch movement 1d10 armor

Special:• Strength in Numbers: Ork units gain a +1 damage bonus when 2 or more ork squads are less than 3 inches from each other.• Frenzy: The minifig may choose to deliver a flurry of blows instead of a regular swing. Its controller may roll twice for damage after skillcheck, and deal the combined amount minus 1 of the rolls to the opponent. This wears out the minifig though, replacing its base armor value for 1d6 until the following turn.• Armed with twin klaws (use 2, 1d6 damage, close combat).

CREATURES

Trolls

Trolls are big hulking greenskins, it is still a matter of dispute whether they are mutated orks, or a different race.

Special: • Regenerate: using it is an action. Use 3, the troll regains 1 hp on success. Dead trolls cannot regenerate.

Variants:

CannonTroll

Armed with stolen cannon (use 3, 12 inch range, uses explosive shells which deal 1d10 explosive damage in a 2 inch radius; reloading requires 1 turn; on skill fail, use the machine malfunction chart seen at Imperial Siege Machines), and a Club (use 3 (6 for a minifig), 2d6 damage, close combat; can use it for sweeping attacks (sweeping attacks hit multiple targets in a line for full weapon damage; sweeping attacks have a skill rate of the weapon’s skill rate +1)).

Troll Juggernaut

Juggernauts represent the sheer strength and savage brutality of the orkish hordes. Only a few selected trolls can become juggernauts; and even some perish during the transformation process, which is painful and rather sadistic. However, those few who manage to endure all the pain and suffering would emerge as fearsome demigods of war.

Stats:

1d6+1 skill 4 inch movement 3d10 armor 3 hit points

Special:• Agony Rush: the juggernaut may double his movement for one round, at the cost of 1 hp.• Fear generator: all non-undead enemy units within a 3 inch radius of the juggernaut suffer a -1 skill modifier.

On success, the ghost possesses the opposing minifig, gaining control over it. The possessed minifig can only move or attack on the same turn it has been possessed if it hadn’t done either yet that turn. The possessed minifig will retain its skill and movement, but its armor value gets replaced by the ghost’s. If the possessed minifig is dealt fatal damage, then the ghost is vanquished and the minifig will belong to its original owner.• Displacement: This quick feat can only be used while the ghost possesses a minifig.

Armed with giant halberds (use 4, 2d6 damage, close combat)

Corpse Grinder

The abomination 'model' referred to as Corpse Grinder, is another iconic undead unit. A shambling mass of dead sewn and forcedly stiched together, this patchwork monstrosity is the living force of nature.

Infernus

Despite its sheer size and bulk, this towering creature of flame and rock is still considered to be a lesser demon. Nonetheless, it's still a huge threat to all who oppose the undead.

The Glommox were the invention of the treacherous Red Majistik, Malekim, who used them as firing support for his evil intentions. After Malekim's fall, Warhead got his hands on the glommox, and thanks to his faithful minion Ezra who had found a way how to build additional ones, it has been a trademark unit of the undead ever since.
